title: Complete mitochondrial genome sequences of two endangered Indian catfish species, Clarias batrachus and Pangasius pangasius.
abstract: Complete mitogenome sequences for Clarias batrachus (magur) and Pangasius pangasius (family Claridae and Pangasiidae, respectively) were generated, which were 16,511 and 16,476 bp, respectively. Both the mitogenomes contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs and 1 non-coding (control) region. The order of the genes was identical to that observed in most other vertebrates. The genome resource of complete mitogenome sequence of Indian catfish species generated during this study would be useful in phylogenetic studies.
